The house is nestled in the rainforest with a short drive from the main road so its very quiet. Our room is spacious with many windows facing the rainforest and a big patio. Our room is comfortable and pleasant. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed it very much. The host, Jon, is also a very nice guy and approachable. Breakfast is a grab and go and has plenty of fresh fruits which is a bonus! ![Mauna Kea sunset ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5c1992b1-553b-4ba8-9773-e019c4fe62fc-1766611869671.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/70bd5737-b9c2-4c3a-9aca-c29644ef4a10-1766611880062.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b9093026-7380-431c-a694-6a64a31ed7bf-1766611872183.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![crater](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5f6d0680-6cd8-4f29-8b88-9aadef140281-1766611884498.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cam So Fong Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chantal Jan 23, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me and my daughter had a very good experience at the Volcano Forest Inn. It is literally at 5 minute drive of the entrance of the Volcano National Park. Which allow us to visit the volcano easily. The rooms was pretty big, confortable and clean. The communication with the owner and our arrival was easy. We were warned by email that the weather could be chilly because of the rain forest. We were ok, but everyone should be aware that it was about 12 to 15 Celsius early mourning. Also there is a cleaning fee of 80$ that is not mentioned in Expedia web site. Overall, for the price, I would highly recommend this hotel. ##### Chantal Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Teresa Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Was an overnight - it’s really in the forest! Big room would be perfect for a longer stay. ##### Teresa Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Yuetian Feb 1, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Room is nice, big and clean, but this place doesn’t feel welcoming. Arrivals at door but code not working even the host is right there in living room won’t open door for us. Had to pay the fee first then a new code sent to me. Before I use the new code the host opened the door. First thing heard from him was kids not welcome and they like to be quiet even we don’t have any kids. We stayed 3 nights, room never cleaned, had to ask for fresh towels. Location is good, very close to volcano national park. Entrance is bit hard to see if coming dark. ##### Yuetian Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nancy A. Jan 19, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The "driveway" is a hard to find the first time, and it's a bit rough (take it slow) but the Inn is fine. Our room was very large, although it could use a couch to fill up the space and provide a comfy place to relax. The TV is very small, but we never wanted to watch anything anyway. The breakfast items provided are rather spartan but I realized it's not a fancy bed and breakfast, rather an airbnb sort of accommodation with a shared kitchen. The coffee was fine although I would have appreciated real creamer and not the powdered stuff (yes, I could and did buy milk at the local store to put in the shared fridge). Altogether the VFI is not luxurious but does its job. ##### Nancy A.

Room nice and large but only two chairs and small table. The shower head is mounted so close to the wall, with no adjustments, that my butt was being poked by the faucet each time I showered. Room was very cold and just one small heater which did nothing to heat the room. Slept with our jackets and clothes on. Mattress was lumpy and not comfortable. No countertops in bathroom. Only one luggage rack. Really needs two. Jon, the owner, was very nice. But I never got a chance to tell him about the room problems. ##### Joan Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Nov 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Plenty of space in a quiet location in Volcano. Along with a full shared kitchen, there is a community refrigerator/freezer, which I wasn't sure about based on the online description. Jon, the property manager was always available, but stayed out of the way. Check in/out was easy and the price was reasonable. There is a separate cleaning fee of $80 which you'll need to figure in to your budget. ##### Robert Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location ##### Todd Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Close to restaurants and volcano park ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark A Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was a beautiful place with a wonderful walk in closet.

The large room, access to the full kitchen/common area, the quiet location surrounded by the rainforest, and the private deck allowed us to enjoy a relaxing visit. The inn has a great location just outside the national park. We were able to stop at several places before they became busy. There was a good amount of information on the area and a tv with current info on the volcano. The rooms are well maintained and comfortable. Overall, it was a great visit that I strongly recommend. ##### kirk Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodrigo Feb 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly quiet and secluded. John, the owner was an awesome host. The property is just minutes away from Volcanos National Park which was very important for us. The area where this place is is very quiet and secluded, perfect for us. I highly recommend this place. ##### Rodrigo Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Crater Rim Cabin](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Crater-Rim-Cabin.h3039440.Hotel-Information) - [Volcano Hale](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Volcano-Hale-The-Chalet-Kilauea-Collection.h62240.Hotel-Information) - [Aloha Crater Lodge and Lava Tube](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Aloha-Crater-Lodge-And-Lava-Tube.h9812048.Hotel-Information) - [Hale 'Ohu Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Hale-Ohu-Bed-Breakfast.h19294543.Hotel-Information) - [At the Crater's Edge](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-At-The-Craters-Edge.h1872668.Hotel-Information) - [Aloha Junction Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Aloha-Junction-Bed-Breakfast.h893887.Hotel-Information) - [Lokahi Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Lokahi-Lodge-The-Chalet-Kilauea-Collection.h201080.Hotel-Information) - [Lava Lodge at Hale Kilauea](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Lava-Lodge-At-Hale-Kilauea.h6856648.Hotel-Information) - [Family Getaway in Volcano sleeps 4](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Family-Getaway-In-Volcano-With-Hot-Tub.h88180560.Hotel-Information) - [Peaceful Volcano lodge with a hot tub](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Peaceful-Volcano-Lodge-With-A-Hot-Tub.h87919868.Hotel-Information) - [Volcano Mist Cottage](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Volcano-Mist-Cottage.h2460052.Hotel-Information) - [Hawaii Volcano House](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Hawaii-Volcano-House.h106530815.Hotel-Information) - [Volcano Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Volcano-Rainforest-Retreat.h2301243.Hotel-Information) - [Kilauea Lodge and Restaurant](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Kilauea-Lodge-And-Restaurant.h12063570.Hotel-Information) - [Volcano Rainforest Retreat with a Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Volcano-Rainforest-Retreat-With-A-Hot-Tub.h88314490.Hotel-Information) - [Volcano Acres Ranch B&B](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Volcano-Acres-Ranch-Bed-And-Breakfast.h10408576.Hotel-Information) - [Volcano Village Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Volcano-Village-Lodge.h2411281.Hotel-Information) - [Volcano Village Estates](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Volcano-Village-Estates.h9781833.Hotel-Information) - [Tree House in Volcano Rainforest with a Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-Tree-House-In-Volcano-Rainforest-With-A-Hot-Tub.h89719243.Hotel-Information) - [At the End of the Road Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.com/Volcano-Hotels-At-The-End-Of-The-Road-Bed-Breakfast.h2231916.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Ka'u](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Kau.d553248635976005968.Flight-Destinations) - [Ka'u Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Kau.d553248635976005968.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Ka'u](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Kau.d553248635976005968.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Ka'u Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Kau.d553248635976005968.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Ka'u](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Kau.d553248635976005968.Travel-Guide-Activities)
